In the Superettan clash between Gefle IF and GIF Sundsvall on 31st May 2023 at 17:00 EEST, the away team managed a convincing 3-1 victory. This match recap provides an assessment of the game and the statistics that played a major role.

The fundamentals of the match were defined in the first half. GIF Sundsvall's onslaught started suddenly and swiftly with their first two goals coming in quick succession at 9 minutes 42 seconds and then just under three minutes later at the 12-minute 20-second mark. Their offensive force was further shown by their third goal in the 39th minute, leaving Gefle IF in a significant deficit before half time.

However, Gefle IF showed some resurgence into the second half with a goal at 64 minutes and 37 seconds, though this didn't significantly affect the outcome. The efficiency of Sundsvall’s offensive tactics is proven by the goal tally despite having fewer corner kicks than Gefle; 5 to Gefle's 9.

Looking at the match's disciplinary statistics, it appears Sundsvall played slightly more aggressively, earning more yellow cards than their counterparts. The away team racked up three yellow cards, one in the first half and two in the second, compared to Gefle's pair of cards, one in each half. However, this did not culminate into any red cards for either team which shows a controlled aggression from both sides.

An interesting fact to note is Gefle IF's increase of corner kicks in the match, which indicates an invigorated offensive approach. However, GIF Sundsvall's defence stood firm, converting this Gefle's increased offensive pressure into a negligible gain on the scoreboard.

Even though this match saw no red cards, the five yellow cards shown reflect a hard-fought encounter by both teams. Gefle IF's comeback attempt in the second half wasn't enough to overcome Sundsvall's dominant first-half performance, with the goals scored during this period a testament to Sundsvall's potent attacking strength.

In conclusion, this match's outcome was largely shaped by GIF Sundsvall's ruthless first-half performance, complemented by a resilient defensive stand in the second half. Gefle IF's late offensive attempts, highlighted by the higher number of corner kicks, were not enough to counterbalance the first half deficit they had created.
